My True Christmas Present...


With the addition of new flooring, I was so happy I thought that would be my major present this year for Christmas. Au contrair! (I think that's how to spell it...)
The living and dining rooms were put back together on Wednesday, with the exception of my piano. I walked in after a shopping trip, and John, Savanah and Ben were sitting on the newly re-arranged living room furniture.
The armoire was added to the family room, and the entire front room felt much more spacious. I told John it looked great, but wondered where my piano was going to go. John said the floor needed one more day to dry before we moved it in. I'm good with that.
Thursday morning, I got up and got going on the last bit of shopping I had to do. I got home around noon thinking I really was hungry and Ben asked me if I wanted to go to lunch with him. I accepted and he took me out for sushi! (I love sushi!)
When we got home, I was met at the door by John who told me to close my eyes. I did and he turned me around, then told me to open them. There, in the living room by the door was a baby grand piano! I could hardly believe it! Apparently the entire family was in on the secret for the past few weeks.
That explains John's insistence on getting the floors finished before Christmas. Here I was thinking he wanted it to look good for his Mom and Jeff to come see us.
Wow! What a great surprise!
